The Anglo-Saxon World introduces the Anglo-Saxons in their own words -their chronicles, laws and letters, charters and charms, and above all their magnificent poems.

Kevin Crossley-Holland places the poems and prose in context with his skillful interpretation of the Anglo-Saxon world; his translations have been widely acclaimed, and of BeowulfCharles Causley has written 'the poem has at last found its translator'. The many illustrations draw on the splendours of Anglo-Saxon manuscripts and jewellery and the wealth of archaeological finds.
